Firefox used evince before I installed gimp, so it must be picking up available applications from somewhere, right?
It also seems to pick up much more than just the name of the executable, since it displays the choice "GNU Image Manipulation Program (d..." in the dialogue. If you're talking about the dialogue I'm thinking of ("What should Firefox do with this file?"), you can choose "Other..." and browse for an executable of your choice.
Sure I can, but I'm curious of how firefox picked up evince to begin with, and then picked gimp instead, and why is evince not available as an option any more? Is that really only configurable by browsing around for executable files if I'm unhappy with the default choice?
If you were on this list from a long time, then you probably know that even I'd started a thread about a similar issue. It was about file associations with firefox & thunderbird. Ultimate solution is to use their inbuilt settings- that was what suggested to me.
